[Intro: Tessa Niles, Carol Kenyon & Guida De Palma]
What? Where? How?
What? Who?
[Chorus: Tessa Niles, Carol Kenyon & Guida De Palma]
Was it worth it?
Was it worth it?
Yes it's worth living for
Was it worth it?
Was it worth it?
[Verse 1: Neil Tennant]
Well I don't know why
I was dreaming about you
But I do know that
I was dancing without you
[Pre-Chorus: Neil Tennant]
Then you smiled and I was lost
You fall in love, why count the cost?
All I gave to you, all you made me do
I react when I hear people ask
[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
Was it worth it?
Yes it's worth living for
Was it worth it?
Yes it's worth giving more
[Verse 2: Neil Tennant]
If I'd had my way
This would have happened much sooner
But until that day
It was only a rumour
[Pre-Chorus: Neil Tennant]
All at once you changed my life
And led me into paradise
Where I had to do what I wanted to
I react when I hear people ask
[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
Was it worth it?
Yes it's worth living for
Was it worth it?
Yes it's worth giving more
[Post-Chorus: Neil Tennant]
I reserve the right to live my life this way
And I don't give a damn when I hear people say
I'll pay the price that others pay
[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
'Cause it's worth it
Yes it's worth living for
'Cause it's worth it
Yes it's worth living for
[Interlude]
[Pre-Chorus: Neil Tennant]
All I gave to you, all you made me do
I react when I hear people ask
[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
Was it worth it?
Yes it's worth living for
Was it worth it?
Yes it's worth giving more
[Post-Chorus: Neil Tennant, Tessa Niles, Carol Kenyon & Guida De Palma]
And I reserve the right to live my life this way
(What? Where? How?)
And I don't give a damn when I hear people say
(What? Who?)
I'll pay the price that others pay
[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
'Cause it's worth it
Yes it's worth living for
'Cause it's worth it
Yes it's worth giving more
And it's worth it
[Interlude]
[Outro: Neil Tennant]
I don't know why
I don't know why
I never thought I'd fall in love
I don't know why
What? Where? How?
What? Who?
[Chorus: Tessa Niles, Carol Kenyon & Guida De Palma]
Was it worth it?
Was it worth it?
Yes it's worth living for
Was it worth it?
Was it worth it?
[Verse 1: Neil Tennant]
Well I don't know why
I was dreaming about you
But I do know that
I was dancing without you
[Pre-Chorus: Neil Tennant]

Yes it's worth living for
Was it worth it?
Yes it's worth giving more

I don't know why
